Lys Fest i Bergen (Light party in Bergen)
Last weekend I spent the weekend in Bergen with my cousin Jorgen and man did I luck out. Bergen had its annual "lys fest" or "light party" translated directly. For those of you back in America or anyone else that hasn't seen it, it really is an awesome event. Thousands of people gather in a park around a fountain in the center of Bergen and at a certain time torches are handed out. And then of course there were fireworks to end the night! It actually is hard to describe because it was that cool so I hope the pictures help! There are also some videos of the fireworks so I hope you all like those as well =)

Hiking to the top of Fjell (Mountain)
Yesterday Frisport took a trip to the top of the mountain behind the school. This also happens to be the ski resorts mountain which leads to the reason we took the trip. We hiked up to the top to do a little scouting of tracks that we would be skiing and let me tell you something, the view was absolutely amazing. Now, the main reason I say this is because one you can see extremely far and two because the clouds were below us.. It is actually a little hard to explain but if you take a look at the pictures Im sure you'll understand.
At the beginning of the album you will see some pictures of some houses. These are part of the Voss FolkeMuseum. Ill put up some information on that later though. Later on in the album youll see a picture of a map. We walked to the FolkeMuseum which is the lower right green "i" that says "Molstertunet" under it. We then hiked from there, following the red path, to the top green "i". From there we scouted the trails. Finally you will see a picture of me on a ski-lift pole. Me and my friend Audun went a little further and hiked an extra ~30min further into the mountains.
